Mathigyle, with his toothiest grin, shook his head quite hurriedly for his age. Who had snuck into the halls past curfew? No matter. Madam Lilith had given the lich a number of keys for the male dorms, and he kept it in a hidden satchel somewhere in the burrow of his robes. Mathigyle appeared to pull out what appeared to be an ancient, rustic key, it appeared simple, but large enough that it had to be carried with some consideration. "Your room, down this left hallway and exactly halfway up the spire. Your roommate appears to be out at the moment..." The lich craned his neck again, as if listening, no, feeling. Mathigyle placed the key firmly in the drakken's hands, and patted him on the side of his arm. "Ah, hm, I'll be off now. Good night. Consider my class, if you would." The lich turned and began shuffling away. Back still turned, he exclaimed, "Ah! And do stay away from that darkness now."

@Overlord24

Every step into the dark hallway seemed to be another attempt at finding the edge of a cliff. There were no torches, scarce candlelight, it was simply and unusually... dark. You took one step too far, and a cold chill began at your spine, to your face, now your arms... were you frozen in actuality or fear? Or both? A disembodied voice, from the darkness: "...Turn back..."

The moment he made contact with the undead's hand Fafnir would shiver from how cold he felt, like a dead corpse. He'd almost burst into flames had his conscience not intervened. Fafnir would try to keep his own composure and nodded to the teacher. "I think I will" He said as he looked to the key, remembering the directions he'd given him. He was slightly curious about avoiding the darkness, but regardless he would head to his room.

walking down the halls in the growing dusk lighting wasn't difficult for Fafnir due to his eye practically acting as a small torch or candle. Moving up the spire, he was curious of all the strangers he would meet, and that of the stranger who was to share his room, which he began to dread. The concept of sharing didn't speak well to him. Finding his room, he placed the large ancient key into the lock, opened the door, and entered his room.

Athena was in her office, she was drinking a cup of tea. Her eyes were going over her students profiles. She was trying to memorize names and faces. She places her tea down on her desk and knocks it on herself accidentally. She gets up from her chair and reaches over to the tissue box to dry herself with it.

"God's I'm late." The reaper said to him self as he ran up to the school. Busting through the doors and looking around he saw the halls empty so he quickly steped in and closed the doors there's got to be somebody around. Maybe the head mistress is in? He thought to him self as he walks down the hall reading the doors

Lilith saunters through the hallways, her eyes glancing through the windows as she watches the sunset...or rather glares at it. The last of the light vanishing from sight as she snaps her fingers as her eyes glow, the wards on the building lock everyone and everything inside the building. "Why does my mouth always taste like dust after I use ancient magic." She questions to herself, as her thoughts turn to the students...and what might happen to them if they started snooping into things they shouldn't. "I should probably warn them...but children will always do what you tell them not to." She mutters, before realizing where she stopped, waving her hand over the front of the door, it swings open and she steps into Athena's office. The door closing behind her as it glows with symbols that only she and one other would recognize...but that rotten apple is dead.

Athena was wiping her stained clothing rapidly with tissues, when suddenly the door slams shut behind her. She turns to face Lilith and gulp "OH SORRY MISTRESS LILITH!" She was gravelling "What do I owe the pleasure, for this meeting?" She gets back up and ignores the tea stain on her shirt. She placed her tea mug the right way up and put her class list back into a folder

Lilith looks at the stain...before waving her hand and the stain lifts off the fabric, the tea floating through the air and landing in the Shirohebi's cup. "Sorry for what? For spilling your drink or not standing to attention when I entered?" She asks, before stepping towards the girl and and placing a hand on her cheek, "I don't care about either of those things. I have more wealth than I could ever need from my long life, and you did not know I was coming...nor did I until I stopped outside your office." She leans closer and plants a kiss on the girl's cheek, enjoying the taste of her embarressment.

@Lady Athena

As Fafnir stepped into his room he didn't have time to take in the differences of what he was used to, as he would quickly begin to remove his armor, piece by piece, until he was left in a small vest and trousers. Deciding which bed to claim, Fafnir would go back to his chest plate he left on the ground, and turned it over so the back was facing up. Lifting the cape from the piece revealed three small chests, each large enough to hold a small sum of items. He removed the chests from the armor, and would open each one to inspect. in two of these chests were a small heap of gold coins, jewels, and other abundances of precious metals. While the third chest contained a few ancient and rusted artifacts, one of them being a gold and wooden cross, another a pendant with a dull emerald crest. A few other such treasures were piled up in that chest. Grinning at his treasure, He would close the hatch to the third chest and hide it under his bed. Then he would proceed to take the other two chests and dump all of its contents onto the bed, spreading out multiple gold pieces over his sleeping area, making an abundance of metallic coins clashing into each other. Since he had no clue on how to operate a light switch, the room was dark with only his fire-like eye giving light, and that of which reflected grimly off of the now gold covered bed. He'd then leap into the moderate heap of treasure that he had made, and would roll and submerge somewhat into it, showering himself with coins. Once he began to settle, he would sprawl over his heap. His tail slithering to a curve around the end of his bed and acted as a border to prevent more gold to fall onto the floor, while his two hands laid on parallel sides to the gold in front, and his legs mimicking this in the back, while his head laid flatly on one side of the gold covered bed. While most would find this uncomfortable, no other method of sleeping pleased Fafnir greater than this. As he laid there, his eye slowly began to close, facing the door somewhat in vision.

@WizardGirl


Athena watches as the stain is removed from her clothing "Thank you, mistress Lilith" She turns bright red as she is touched "True, but I should always be prepared for your appearance" She puts her hand to your cheek as you taste her embarrassment "So?... What do I owe the pleasure of your presence?" She drinks her tea that you removed from her clothes, not really caring that it was previously a stain.

@Lord Hailstorm



First two bright orbs, and then a set of teeth. They floated in the darkness for a moment, a nearby candle only illuminating what appeared to be a faint, grey outline. Then, the rest of his ghastly form appeared before you, as if spontaneously, separate from the ghoulish maw you saw before. Were it beast or man? The undead smiled at you wolfishly, but were you sheep? His short, crooked arms managed to creak and motion side to side. It was waving at you. Unsettlingly so, but a greeting nonetheless.

"Hm, yes, hello, late but very well." Mathigyle mumbled and tumbled through his robes, searching for something. He unveiled an usually large, rustic key: you'd believe it to be for a castle or some sort of ancient treasure gate. "I am to give out the men's keys. Down the left hall, three quarters of the way up the spire. I believe your roommate is in..." The lich looked about, that ghoulish smile still upon his face. "For now..." His gaze turned back to you. His demeanor was odd at best, and you honestly couldn't get a read for how friendly this unusual greeting was. "Please, do consider Alchemicals 101 as an introductory course. It, uh, will be worth your while. Hm. Yes," Mathigyle mumbled to himself, gently placing the freezing key in your hands. Yes, hadn't it gotten suddenly more chilling in the air? Mathigyle shuffled away, his dark grey robes coalescing with the darkness. "Oh, and do stay away from that darkness." Mathigyle waves a withered arm behind him as it vanished before you. You were alone again, or so you believed, key in hand to do whatever you wished. Much warmer now, how nice. How comforting.

Wilhelm Wondered to him self as he watched the being apeare from semingly nowhere. This must be the lich teacher. Definitely a character but not close to scaring. Ive seen worse in the other realms that he's not the worst. But I should play along don't want to upset him. As the lich begins to fade out agian. "Um thank you." quickly spinning on his heels and starting toward his room.

Upon reaching his room Wilhelm opens the door and walks in.

Fafnir would roll over a bit in his slumber, golden coins falling off his bed as his body began to become submerge in the moderate sized heap he has made. His wings laid flatly on the coins and bed

Rei walked into her room and looked around to observe it. She wondered if the headmistress would allow her to paint the walls blue instead of the boring beige color that was currently there. After she placed her things onto one of the beds, she pulled off her shoes and smoothly slid her sock covered feet across the floor, stopping at the window and sitting down next to it. She placed her elbows on the windowsill and rested her head on her hands. She looked outside, noticing that it had gotten quite dark. She looked up at the sky and stared at the moon, not really having anything on her mind. She had planned on just watching the night sky until she got tired. She placed a piece of strawberry candy in her mouth before looking outside and doing nothing more.

Unable to sleep, as there was a lot on my mind, My eye gave lumination to the room in the form of a red dim inferno from my its opening. By now I had tossed and turned over my own heap that my treasure was either splashed across the floor, or surrounding and burying my large and well fit body. I'd slither out of bed, grumbling as I started to collect all the pieces of gems and metals of mine that had spilled over the bed. It has been a while since I even had a proper bed. As I retrieved my fallen, precious items, I looked around the room. The furniture, beige walls, plastered in such material that while not hard, offered a truly solid and simple geometric room. There was something more pleasing in this then the castle towers and dungeons I have been in, or the caverns I have dwelled through. As I appreciated my new lair, I would count every single piece I pick up, placing them back on the bed.

Finishing my collecting, id stand back up to appreciate my treasure spilled again over my bed. However a frown would creep on my face as I analyzed the heap. Centuries of counting and getting to know my collection, I immediately noticed a gem was missing. Id urgently turn and inspect the room, finding no trace of it. Desperation filled me, with a snap of my fingers my armor, laid about on the floor, would vanish in white light before reappearing already equipped to my body. Id open my door with a loud thud, my urgency increasing. Looking at the stair case I saw th very gem I lost, a blue cylinder transparent gem, that had a faint glowing property. Id run to reach for I but my urgency caused me to miss, tripping over the gem and tumbling down the spiral stair case with a serious of loud noises and thuds following each fall, the metal armor and great weight of my body being the contributing factors to the sound. Id continue to fall and tumble until a reached the bottom of the spire, hurdled against the wall.

Lilith smiles at the girl's flustering, sitting down at the seat across from her and relaxing, "I have been bored...lessons do not start until tomorrow. So, I decided to visit you and make sure that you are settling in just fine." Her eyes roam over the girl as she motions for her to sit, "So, how has your settling in been?" She asks, not truly caring, but wanting to put the girl at ease before tomorrow.

Athena smiles back nervously as she watches Lilith sit across from her "Oh well that makes sense.. Well setting in has been alright, but Im not sure if you want me to have my tail as we have human students would feel uncomfortable?" Her eyes shine "Well It would also help if I knew what subject you wanted me to teach, mistress". Athena placed her mug down "Other than that I am fine, mistress"

Lilith chuckles softly, "If the students even so much as mention your tail, tell me." She says with a smile, before standing up, "As for the subject...I don't care. My plan is already developing beautifully." She takes out a necklace and hands it to the girl, "Wear this for your protection." She turns and walks out the door without another word.

Your back hit the cold stone at the bottom of the spire, producing an echo down the hallway. A candle in the distance flickered. Another flicker, from a closer candle. A trick of the eyes? You wondered if your mind played games with you as you swore the area around you became more dark. The candles seemed to dim Difficult to see now. Shadows crept closer, or was that the wind shifting the flame of candles. Your primal instincts screamed the longer you sat there motionless, nothing staring back at you.

@Whimsley looking around in utter darkness, nothing but my eye and dim candles providing light, neither of which provided sufficient light to end this darkness. Not even the lightless catacombs I had to march through express this much, innate paranoia. The darkness here in this building was like no other. I wasn't about to give up a piece of my collection for mere childish fear. Though id be a bit nervous id stand upright, fixing my helmet, and would go back up the stairs. finding my gem on a step, I quickly picked it up and went back into my room as fast as I could, the cold dark spire was not a place I was comfortable with, whether id admit it or not

@WizardGirl


Athena giggles and blushes "I-i-i will mistress" She was confused by the sudden change of attitude towards the school.. But on the other hand you are the demon queen. "Oh okay... Hmm, Ill think of something before class starts" She takes the necklace and nods slowly "Ill wear it.... Bye" She looks back at the necklace and feels it's presence, which gave her an idea for a subject. She quickly gets to studying for her class she is going to teach
